This is a great cult movie, its all about the californian surfing culture of the mid 1960's. As the story has as much to do with the turbulant times in american culture,as it does with catching the perfect wave.the movie is a pleasure to watch, and is the grandaddy of all surfing movies. The plot might be slight, but with so much sand surf and sun tanned bodies, the movie is impossible to dislike. This film is the perfect tonic to the terrible summer weather of 2007 & 2008, and is a must see for the dark cold winter nights.
Sun kissed brilliance!
